A source said “When the Boko Haram gunmen came for the money they realised he had left with everything and they decided to go after him on their motorcycles.

“They caught up with him near Dumba where they slaughtered him and shot dead 50 of his cattle.

“They took four women from the man’s family and the rest of the herd.”
